Our first Video is UP: Taking the Slow Road
*** In the spirit of open Collaboration we will now be open also for collaborations with all other artists on Sellaband!
Only one administrative restriction: one of the members of the collaboration on a song has to be on "The Collaboration Project Team" and this one has the responsibilty for the rules and the communication. but other than this: let the collaborations come :) **

Alright, MaWa here :)
I took the job, of managing this profile and helping to start this of.
So here is the outline of the project:
Creating a CD with Collaborations of Sellaband artists.
A collaboration is the teamwork of more than one Sellaband artist on one song.
Technically the song breaks down into
- the composition
- the lyrics
- the performance
This is a project inside the rules of Sellaband, so the same conditions will apply, as an artist you have to 'own' your part of the song and if you participate you have to agree, that when the 50k are reached you enter the agreement with Sellaband for your part of the songs you put in.
And not to forget: the goal is 50k :) and a bunch of good songs.
---------------------------------------
And here is Caspers original outline:
The basic plan is as follows. And please give me some time to work it out properly.
The idea is as written below. Any feedback would be most welcome.
Everybody who wants to collaborate with me/us to record a collaboration CD, after reaching the 50K on this profile page will keep his/her own copyrights and defiantly have the opportunity to sing or play on that future CD. I sincerely hope that it will become a successful project with a minimum of 10 joining artists/musicians.
Every joining artist will do their own communications in future on this profile.
Believers who are willing to buy parts on this ‘All Together’ profile will put their ‘believe’ in a collaboration CD with all the collaborating artists and musicians joining.
There’s nothing to loose since you always can refund your parts anytime.
Believers could participate and help in this SAB profile with language issues (translations), promote, networking etc. etc. Please feel free to mail me for the address and inlog password if you think you can add something or help.
I sincerely believe that we all together could make this happen in no time. Many hands can carry heavy weights.
Since there’re a lot of artists/producers/musicians/composers/lyricists like us, who will need to much time reaching the 50K goal this plan could speed up our common dreams. There automatically be a huge amount of interest and publicity to expose us all.
Let's get on with it!

The initial forum thread
-------------------------------------------
Caspers initial request:
WANTED: It’s a real challenge for every singer so I hope someone will collaborate after listening to the “Full band” Mp3. I will share the lyric royalty's 50/50 with the vocalist and we'll make a brand-new production.
A few years back I wrote and produced a song (lyrics and music) for a very talented female singer (Bettie Patiwala) and I really like that song a lot. During that time I’ve invited a few musicians in my home studio to produce play and record that song as ‘live’ as possible. I think it sounds great for just a "Demo".
This song means a lot to me because the bass player died and the singer had big health problems. That’s why I never wanted to re-record it with a full band till now. I tried once with Maaike but it didn’t work live and just acoustic.
Someone interested ?

Cool new song!!
MaWa, i remember reading something about this, but i can't find it now- so i'm wondering. When the collab project hits 50K, how will the songs be decided as to which ones go onto the cd?
^^ xo

Extract from the latest PM to collaboration project beleivers :
"The newest one is just up:
"You Are So Crazy" - (I guess they mean YOU) by Outrance and Wildcat "
If I understand this correctly, you are claiming the collaboration project believers to be crazy, don't you ?
[Add picture from a mad cartoon character here]
Joking ofcourse, I like this new song, and I suppose you're right, I might be crazy (just only a little bit).

Co.Lab - You Are So Crazy is a great new addition to a fantastic project!

As MaWa himself said, the standard of the collaborations from this project has exceeded all expectations. When you picture the idea of various mp3 samples floating across the net, and different vocals being home recorded, the outcome doesn't look too promising. However, with the amazing skill many of the participants provide, a wonderfully presented and recorded track has come from the teams time and time again. With some amazing collabs already in demo stages, and some nearing completion, i wanted to grab a copy of the CD that will undoubtedly be recorded as Sellabands popularity grows. Something for everyone is an overused and cliche phrase- but there truly is. |

Great songs!!I think that every artist and believer on Sellaband should believe in TheCollaborationProject because universalization gives birth to evolution. |

It is interesting, that this project is associated with me. Kind of flattering. To get the record straight: It was Caspers idea, I just thought: this is too good for him alone. So there we go. This is a Project. This is about Collaboration in the best of sense. This is about, what all this could be about. To everyone - like always - don't blow it :) - do your best, where doing good is not enough. |
